What We Fish For

Lake Champlain has a two-tier fishery-warm water and cold water fishing is at it’s finest!

The Lake Trout are literally the “Big Catch” of the lake. Due to such a large lake and a thriving Smelt & Alewife population, Lake Trout exist and are caught in prolific numbers by our charter boat. Land locked Atlantic Salmon are also found in the lake in less numbers than the lake trout, but catch rates are still very good due to improved stocking efforts. Spring & early summer are best dates to target Salmon, Lake Trout can be caught all season long!

Small and Large mouth bass are also plentiful in Lake Champlain and are always great fishing fun! Quite frequently we combine Bass and Pike charters, mixing up the fishing methods which is especially fun with children aboard. Constant bass action on our charter boat is quite common, using live bait and artificial.
